NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 20, 2012) (REUTERS) - A sea of red flooded the inside of Manhattan's Terminal 5 stadium on Saturday (October 20), as die-hard Manchester United fans cheered and watched intently as the team maintained a close score against Stoke City.

The game took place at Old Trafford in England, but was broadcast LIVE in New York on the stadium's big screen at 10:00 a.m. EST (14:00 GMT).

The event aimed to build up the club's fanbase, which is a household name in soccer-loving parts of the world but has only a limited following in the United States.

"It's really, really awesome. I mean, all the Manchester United fans are here supporting the team and we're really appreciating all the atmosphere and the event that's happening right now and the game."
